Nigel Short - I Saw Eternity the Other Night Lyrics




[ Featuring Tenebrae ]

"I saw Eternity the other night
Like a great Ring of pure, endless light
All calm as it was bright
And round beneath it, Time, in hours, days, years
Driven by the spheres
Like a vast shadow moved in which the world
And all her train were hurled
The doting Lover in his quaintest strain
Did there complain
Near him, his lute, his fancy, and his flights
Wit's sour delights
With gloves and knots the silly snares of pleasure
Yet his dear treasure
All scattered lay, while he his eyes did pour
Upon a flower "
